Thomas, start making mine! A couple of questions . . .

 

Is manipulating the knob fully functional with this on it?

How tight is the new knob?

Will it fall off when moving the knob up/down/left/right?

Does it affect the illumination of the knob at all?

 

Thanks for offering to make these. It'll be a great addition.

The knob is only about fifty thousanths bigger than stock. It is a very tight press fit so that it aint coming off. I didn't even glue mine and I have abusively moved it around for all functions and its works perfect. Actually when you put it on, it looks like Pioneer did it. You can't tell it's aftermarket anything... And it WORKS WAY BETTER. Thanks for the interest. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Tom,

i ordered one too.

Hello. I just sent you $12.00. Thanks..

this looks awesome, it doesnt block the illumination or the glow does it since it is bigger?

Thanks, Tom, for such a great idea. Paypal sent.

Posted Dec 14, 2008 · 19:10 UTC#10

Awesome idea! I just paypal'd you!

Holy cow!! I guess everyone else is as unhappy with the pinche little knob that Pioneer used as I was. Thanks for the interest guys, glad I could help.

You will love the way it looks and works.

Does anyone know if the knob on the 900 and 700 are the same as the 90? If it is I guess I could post there as well and make their life a little better.

 

Anyone????

can anyone confirm that the aftermarket knob still can be pushed up/down/left/right/center?

There seems to be some questions surrounding the functionality of the new knob.

 

The new knob works exactly like the old one in every way except that it is deeper and you can actually grip it. It does not fall off or block the lighting. When you install it you can't tell that Pioneer didn't put it there. It looks VERY factory. Matter of fact after a month or so you will forget that there was ever a smaller knob on there. It has a much better feel as well due to the weight.

 

This is not some hokey knob. I am a professional machinist. when I make something, it works BETTER than the original or I don't waste my time.

 

Not trying to sell here just be assured this knob works great.

don't misunderstand what I asked; I just want to know if anyone else has purchased and tried the knob that can provide independant reassurance since you don't have a lot of rapport. I'm sure your product is top notch, but I want to hear it from someone else ;)

Gotcha, no problem.

The picture shows what it looks like. His drawing shows how it works..... Jesus, just send the man the lousy 12 bucks and give it a try!

As soon as the first knob is received by a forum member and independently tested, I'm definitely in for one.

Payment sent from me too :)

Looks like you have a new job haha

I'd pay extra for you to machine in a groove for an o-ring for some extra traction! I really like the "hose washer mod" but it does look a little tacky.

ohh,, very good idea!

I'm thinking of putting one of those plastic/rubber rings that you put around a key on my OEM knob to see if that helps, but I like the idea of Tom's bigger knob with a groove for an o-ring.
